it is normal to have an increase in vaginal secretions in the last few weeks of pregnancy. which is what this sounds like. While pp is right, it can look different in different people, or even from one prgnancy to another in the same person. Generally, the mucus plug will have some form of blood in it. Older blood may make the whole blob look any shade from pink to brown. While newer blood may appear as pink or red streaks in the otherwise white, cream colored, or even clear mucus. Sometimes it comes out little by little as the cx starts to efface & dilate, other times it washes out when your water breaks, you have sex, or with a vaginal exam.

I'm pregnant with my 4th child, and my mucus plug fell out at 36.5 weeks. This is the first time I ever noticed it. I agree with Marlenecpm, mine looked very similar. Since 36.5 weeks I have continually been loseing more. I'm now almost 5 cm 50% at 39 weeks. I have had off and on contractions, but no baby yet. Losing your mucus plug is not an indicator that you will go into labor soon. Good luck!

Mines came out at 36 weeks. It was clear and jelly like with a tint of light blood stain. It was such a little bit tho that I didn't think anything of it. But, I mentioned to my mother and she told me to call the hospital and they told me to come in. I went in and my water broke!!!!! I had my son a few hrs later and he is alive thanks to GOD because he was being strangled by his cord twice! So my body MADE me have him. The Dr's said my body but I say it was GOD protecting my son. He is 3 now :D

I will be 39 weeks tomorrow and still havnt lost any plug. I havnt had contractions either. I think the baby just wants to be comfy and jot come out yet lol. Although last ob I was dialated at 1 but still I could be there for a while. This is my 2nd child.
